Audio clips are available of Ace’s appearance on the “Opie & Anthony Show” from July 20 are now available in the FAQ Multimedia section.

Ace was in good spirits throughout and topics touched upon included recollections of "KISS Meets The Phantom Of The Park," KISS and Tommy Thayer, Anomaly, recording philosophies, “Gene Simmons: Family Jewels,” and much more.

On KISS and Tommy Thayer:
“I don’t pay that much attention to what they’re doing lately...When I go on YouTube and I read the fans comments and they seem really upset about Tommy being in my makeup…It bothers me that it bothers the fans a lot. It is what it is.”

On Gene Simmons’ reality show:
“I watched it a couple of years ago…it’s so incongruous to his stage persona. First he’s the monster, and then he’s this bumbling silly guy, and then in interviews he’s talking like a professor — but those are the different sides of Gene.”

On Anomaly:
“I’m happiest when I am in control of my destiny. I’ve produced this record, it’s taken forever but I’m really happy with the end result…This new album I think is the closest to the first solo album of anything I’ve put out since that record.”
